Yes, ConfigParser. The docs for ConfigParser are a bit confusing in places (IMO), but there are people here who can help if you get stuck. > Or you could just write the settings out to a file. Using ConfigParser means your configuratino files will be human-readable and human-editable. If you don't care about that, you could stick them in a dictionary and use pickle to write it to a file. Or use the shelve module. > If you choose to go the latter route, keep in mind that modules are > compiled to .pyc files upon importation, > so you'll have to remove those anytime you modify config.py or the old > code will be used instead. The python interpreter should check the timestamps on foo.py vs foo.pyc, and recompile if it thinks things have changed. -- John. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
